Got ME for PC at bargain bin. It was crashing every now and then.Even after patching the game, updated my graphics driver, and not a single crash since. Ran pretty good too at near-maxed visuals on my rig.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty, good port. And a good, fun game, considering its console-roots. The story and setting kinda hooked me.

I won't be pre-ordering, but against my usual instincts I am looking to maybe get the CE of ME2 on release.

Go Bioware!!!

This is not rocket science. Obvious really. The sad thing is, some of the marketing budget could be better spent on Q&A. This explains how so many gamers fall for the hype. What was that crappy Matrix game again?Black & White?

There are some exceptions - like Batman:Arkham Asylum. On the other side of the coin - you get great games that were overlooked, due to crappy marketing.. PS:Torment, SS2, Bloodlines.

STALKER is a FP-shooter. Comparing it to Oblivion just shows how good STALKER actually is. Its has amazing atmosphere, more endings, better A.I.Plus scary-cool moments. (The zombie and mutant infested Lab16, escaping from Military base - mindscorcher mutant?)

I for one, really hope for a CO-OP mod/patch as that would be some crazy fun. The new "freeplay" mode may be a feature that was dropped pre-release, being added now. The A.I-life really added a lot to the game for me. This update can only make the game better.
